General low-carb
General low-carb is a flexible approach that reduces carbohydrate intake without the strict requirements of keto. You'll focus on whole foods, lean proteins, healthy fats, and non-starchy vegetables while keeping carbs moderate. This approach offers the benefits of reduced sugar and refined carbs without eliminating healthy carb sources like berries, beans, and some whole grains.
